With Chicago missing Lebesson, Bay Area has all but secured the second West playoff spot.
Comes down to Chicago and Princeton now to join Carolina from the east. Princeton has 16 points to make up but it is possible, will probably come down to the wire.
Wonder if the Spinners will get put into the expansion draft with NY and ATL out of pity. They don't have a single player worth retaining except for Pistej who wants out, while other teams have 3-4 players worth retaining
Timo will surely get a "Butterfly Legend" contract like Mizutani, Schlager, Kreanga, Primorac, and Maze did. The Timo Boll ALC is still one of the most popular blades in the world among pros and amateurs. And Timo's legacy will last a long time.
It'll be at least decades until the series is...
Final regular season weekend this weekend. Seattle, Bay Area, Chicago and Princeton.
Watch out for Seattle, with a new look to their bench, play spoiler to the other 3 teams trying to secure a playoffs spot.
Ma Long's lifetime record against FZD is tipped in his favor because they were at their primes in different generations and not simply because of a forehand or backhand thing.
ML thoroughly dominated FZD in the early part of FZDs career before he hit his prime and while ML was still in his...
You don't know that they answered without hesitation or how closely behind they might rate other players. While I agree with you that Ma Long has the best overall forehand because of its versatility and completeness (and not because of its power), there are other valid opinions. When Dan asked...
Can confirm, pretty much all the lower level leagues are full of this, happens on a bigger level too, I know one very high profile Asian player who threw a match a few years ago for a huge payout, obviously not going to say who
Softer but somewhat reactive blade with medium bouncy/gripping rubbers. Maybe something like a Harimoto ALC/ZLC with D05 or Nittaku Acoustic Carbon with G1
I hate to bring bad news but given the way you hit the ball (extremely thinly and softly, with zero arm acceleration), the 968 was never going to be a good fit for the way you play. Putting 09c on top of that is not helping the cause...
First round exits don't mean what they used to with the way WTT does the draws now. It is not uncommon to draw a good player in the first round, he drew WCQ first at the recent Chongqing event.
Saying his forehand power doesn't convert into results is pretty wild though....
